It's All a Matter of Size
The setting was perfect. Scented candles filled the room with the sweet aroma of vanilla and a touch of cinnamon, also providing a soft and gentle glow. The floor was a carpet velvety rose petals, of a red deeper than blood. Everything was perfect as far as Byakuya was concerned. His Vice-Captain, turned lover, was not so sure.
"It won't fit!" Renji hissed, looking down.
"Of course it will, stop fussing." Renji shuddered as his Captain's quiet, silky voice caressed his skin.
"I have every right to fuss. I'm telling ya, it's too big and it won't fit!"
"Just relax, Renji." Byakuya whispered, nuzzling at his neck.
"I tried relaxing, it still didn't fit, it's too big! There is no way…" He broke off into a moan asByakuya's hands lazily stroked his sides.
"I've never known you to give up so easily." The elder mans' breath whispered along his neck, sending fire through Renji's veins. "Don't you want this?"
"You know I do, it's just…" He broke off, before timidly continuing, "Can you shrink it somehow?"
Byakuya just looked at him, wide eyed. "Renji, we don't have to do this tonight, please don't feel as though I am pushing you into something you are not ready for."
"It's not that, you know I want this as much as you do." With a grace and ease that he normally didn't possess, Renji reached behind him to trace gentle pat tans along Byakuyas' face and neck. "I'm sure we'll think of someway to make this work."
His Captains' only response was a line of gentle nips along Renji's shoulders.
Suddenly he had an idea, "Ne, Byakuya? What about cold water?"
"What about it?"
"What if we dip it in cold water, would that make it shrink?" He leant his head back to explore Byakuya's ear with his tongue. "Could we try?"
"…"
"Unless you have a better idea, Captain."
"You and your crazy ideas." Byakuya said, with the touch of a smile showing.
"I love you too." Renji grinned as he left to acquire the aforementioned clod water.
He returned a short time later, carrying a glass. Its sides already covered in condensation.
"Please tell me that is not ice floating in there."
"Sure is, Captain." Renji replied still grinning. "Had to make sure it was really cold so it would work properly."
Byakuya groaned –loudly- and rolled his eyes in a most uncharacteristic fashion.
"OK, here we go." Looking up Renji smiled, "Is it working?"
"Yes." Byakuya said, irritated. "Why you had to use ice is beyond me."
"It will work faster. See all done."
A few moments later Renji had removed the formally oversized plug from the glass of iced water and was calmly filling the tub with warm water and bath oil. Finally, they could enjoy each others company, after a week of separate mission they had some quiet time. What better way to spend it than in the luxury of a warn bath and loving company?
I know what you were think! Get you mind out of the gutter! Goodness me, people these days, one track minds on all of them. Hope you liked it. See you 'round.
